Strategic Research Agenda and Vision papers

The Strategic Research Agenda is currently undergoing a revision process open to all members. The updated draft is open for comments, the previous issues are listed below.

This volume constitutes the refereed proceedings of the First European Conference, ServiceWave 2008, held in Madrid, Spain, in December 2008.
The 28 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 102 initial submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on adaption/monitoring, model driven architecture, network services, service oriented architecture, business process management, deployment/invocation, security, workflow as well as SLA/QoS.

In occasion of ICSOC-ServiceWave 2009, the Programme Committee received 228 papers submissions from a number of different disciplines. 37 papers were accepted as regular contributions and 8 further submissions were accepted as short papers.
These scientific papers are all published in the conference proceedings by Springer Verlag, as volume 5900 of the Lecture Science. This is also the first volume of the new LNCS Sub line Services Science.

ISBN 978-3-642-16131-5This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the International Workshops on Service-Oriented Computing, ICSOC/ServiceWave 2009, held in Stockholm, Sweden, in November 2009. The book includes papers of workshops on trends in enterprise architecture research (TEAR 2009), SOA, globalization, people, and work (SG-PAW), service oriented computing in logistics (SOC-LOG), non-functional properties and service level agreements management in service oriented computing (NFPSLAM-SOC 09), service monitoring, adaptation and beyond (MONA+), engineering service-oriented applications (WESOA09), and user-generated services (UGS2009). The papers are organized in topical sections on business models and architecture; service quality and service level agreements track; and service engineering track.

This volume constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third European Conference, ServiceWave 2010, held in Ghent, Belgium, in December 2010. The 15 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 49 submissions. They cover a broad range of subjects related to service-oriented architectures and the underlying cloud infrastructure and are organized in topical sections on cloud computing, service adaptation and identification, infrastructures, applications and mashups, and engineering of service-oriented applications. In addition to the scientific track, 24 extended abstracts of demonstrations covering a wide spectrum of technology and application domains were accepted out of 31 submissions.

The Internet has reached a crossroads in its evolution from a source of information to a critical infrastructure, underpinning economies and everyday life. The demand for more multimedia content, interconnected devices, greater connectivity, richer user experiences and services available at any time and from anywhere is increasing the pressure on existing networks and platforms. In this ubiquitous Internet, the number and scope of services available globally are predicted to grow exponentially leading to the ‘Internet of Services’. However, in order for these services to be used and re-used in the construction and evolution of service-based systems, significant research effort is required into the broader aspects of services and particularly into the multidisciplinary problems that cut across diverse scientific disciplines. The S-Cube Network of Excellence is one of more than 50 projects within the European Union's FP7 - ICT Programme for Research and Development researching various aspects of the Internet of Services. Within this cohort, S-Cube focuses on fundamental principles, techniques and methods for the service-based systems of the future, combining knowledge from experts in the areas of grid computing, service-oriented computing, business process management, software engineering and human-computer interaction. This book presents the foundations, vision, first results and future work in the area of software services as addressed by S-Cube. The book starts with a presentation of the S-Cube research framework, developed to assist in unifying research communities and agendas across Europe, and provides an introduction to the vision of S-Cube, where the anticipated growth in services and service-based systems will have a profound effect on business and society. The remainder of the book follows the building blocks of the research framework and addresses technologies required for realizing future service-based systems and service engineering principles, techniques and methods that use those technologies to ensure robust, manageable and adaptable systems.
